The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' Acts 17:24-28
God doesn’t need us. That’s kind of a humbling
statement. Who needs us? We need each other and we do need God. I think
it is encouraging to think that God wants
us since He created us, has given us free will and yet has promised that He
will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). He still doesn’t NEED us. Paul
spoke these words in Acts 17 in Athens describing how God is self-sufficient.
Those people didn’t know the one true God…they just knew of many gods.
Additionally, they didn’t know that they could be children of this God and
spend eternity with Him. Some were eager to know more and told Paul that they
wanted to hear from him again concerning that. (Continue to read Acts 17.) Do
you want to know more about God…about eternity?
RSVP: Jesus is
offering us an opportunity today to know more about Him and about our Heavenly
Father. Will you spend time with Him today…reading His Word, meditating on it
and praying for wisdom and understanding?
Prayer~ Heavenly
Father, You are self-sufficient and don’t need me, but I need You. Please give
me wisdom and understanding that I would know You better. Thank you for hearing our prayers and we continue to lift us Michelle, Ramez and Dylan to you that you would touch and heal each of them. We praise You.
Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table
Is it a gray
day where you are? It is here. Bring a little joy into your world today with
everyone’s favorite—fudge. This recipe starts with some sunny cheese that I
haven’t used much since I was a kid—but it make this fudge tasty and we can
rationalize a bit nutritious. Thanks Joan for the recipe!
Velveeta Cheese Fudge
1 lb. butter
1 lb.
Velveeta cheese
Melt over low
heat.
Mix 1 cup
cocoa with 4 lbs powdered sugar.
When butter
and cheese are melted, add the cocoa and sugar mixture. Stir quickly and mix
well.
Add 1 Tbsp
vanilla. Add 1 cup of chopped nuts if desired.
Spread in
11X17 pan, or a 9 X 13 pan but the pieces will be thick and slightly harder to
cut.
Let cool, cut
and enjoy. This can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil and frozen for
a few months.
